Style Stealer: Kelly Osbourne in Rare’s tucked jumper dress with big shoulders

FP 3560945 Osbourne Ladies  Style Stealer: Kelly Osbourne in Rares tucked jumper dress with big shouldersWe love it when we spot celebrities wearing accessible fashion, although you may not love it quite so much, given the item Kelly Osbourne is wearing here is this grey jumper dress by Rare, which comes with the requisite giant shoulders. It’s a look that Kelly is clearly loving at the moment – she wore a similarly styled top earlier this week – and it’s also very much “on trend” (yeah, we hate that phrase too), but do you fancy stealing Kelly’s style? If you do, the dress is £35 from Topshop, and we think the addition of the belt is probably a very good idea!

Unsolved Mysteries: River Island sequin swimsuit

river island sequin swimsui Unsolved Mysteries: River Island sequin swimsuit

Well, you’re not going to be doing a whole lot of swimming in THIS, are you? Which makes us think that either:

a) They’re lying about the “swimsuit” bit and it’s actually just a bodysuit. Which actually brings up problems all of its own, because if you wore it under trousers or a skirt, you wouldn’t actually see the detail on the bottom part. This makes us worry that it’s supposed to be worn Lady Gaga style, with nothing over the top.

b) It IS a swimsuit, but it’s just for posing in. We’ve yet to see a “just for posing in” swimsuit that we didn’t consider a crime of fashion, so this concerns us too.

Either way, we’re not going to be paying £49.99 for it, but if you want to, you can pick it up at River Island.

Fearne Cotton launches a fashion line for Very.co.uk

fearne cotton dresses Fearne Cotton launches a fashion line for Very.co.ukFor those of you unfamiliar with the name, Fearne Cotton is a TV presenter here in the UK, and is generally held up by the fashion press to be a bit of a style icon.

She’s also the latest in a long, long line of “celebrities” who’ve launched their own fashion lines over the past couple of years. Fearne’s collection launched this week, and is sold at Very.co.uk, where you can buy the items shown above, and more. They all seem reasonably priced, which earns Fearne Fashion Police points for sure, but what do you think of the clothes themselves? Take a look here, and don’t forget to tell us what you think!

Balmain make a $9632.22 jumpsuit

balmain jumpsuit Balmain make a $9632.22 jumpsuit

Quick question, readers: you can have this jumpsuit or, for roughly the same price, you can have a good quality second hand car.

Which would you choose?

(Those are slits at the knees for your legs to poke through, by the way. Not that we’re trying to influence you here in any way, you understand.)

We realise calling Balmain out for Daylight Robbery is a bit like describing Lady Gaga as “a tad eccentric”, but seriously: why do they think they can charge this much for their designs? It’s just a jumpsuit, for crying out loud! And sure, it has Swarovski crystals around the bodice, but even so: just. a. jumpsuit. Surely?

Wear or Die: Printed Pants

ugly print pants trousers Wear or Die: Printed PantsIt’s been a while since we’ve played Wear or Die, but as soon as we laid eyes on the two pairs of pants shown above, we knew we had to try and force you to wear them: or one pair of them at least.

That’s the task before you now, readers: imagine that The Fashion Police have stolen all of your clothes. Instead, we present you with these two pairs of trousers (and OK, we’ll let you wear a top and shoes with them – we’re not that mean), with the warning that if you don’t choose one pair to wear, you must die. Now, clearly you’re not going to want to die over a pair of pants, so tell us: which ones will you choose to wear? On the left, Henrik Vibskov’s zig-zag stripe harem pants or, on the right, ‘Dancefloor Trousers’ by Unique at Topshop? The choice is yours: enjoy!

What Celebrities Wear to the Airport: Lindsay Lohan in a low-cut jumpsuit

90907M9 LOHAN B GR 05 What Celebrities Wear to the Airport: Lindsay Lohan in a low cut jumpsuitOoh, Lindsay! It can get quite nippy in the air, you know – you’ll catch your death in that thing!

As regular readers may recall, The Fashion Police are always fascinated by the outfits celebrities choose to wear to the airport. Take Lindsay Lohan, for instance, pictured here at LAX in a jumpsuit that leaves very little to the imagination – and that’s not something we find ourselves saying very often in relation to jumpsuits. Still, at least she’s obeyed the “cleavage OR legs” rule here, keeping the rest of her body under wraps in baggy black material. We hope she at least brought along a pashmina for the plane!

Lindsay’s sister Ali, meanwhile, is pictured just behind her, wearing a floral print mini dress and gladiator sandals.

Unsolved Mysteries: Helene Berman Knitted Veil Bobble Beanie

Helene Berman Knitted Veil  Unsolved Mysteries: Helene Berman Knitted Veil Bobble BeanieOK, we’re lost: we’re big fans of Helene Berman’s wonderful collection of hats, but we’ve been racking our brains (doesn’t take us long, to be fair) and we just can’t work out why you’d need a veil on your beanie. All we can come up with is a particularly freezing funeral or a very formal fireworks display/other outdoor event that leaves you out in the cold for hours.

If you can enlighten us on the use of this object, we’d greatly appreciate it.

Kelly Osbourne wears everything but the kitchen sink around her neck

90908L1 OSBOURNE B GR 02 Kelly Osbourne wears everything but the kitchen sink around her neck

We hate to think how heavy this necklace must be, but at least Kelly Osbourne will never be stuck for a fork or knife while she’s wearing it. Or a spoon. Or some safety pins. Or a spare button. Or… a toy soldier.

It’s definitely what you’d call a “statement piece”, but do you love the statement this necklace is wearing? We love the rest of Kelly’s look here, but we’re just not sure about the contents of the cutlery drawer hanging around her neck. You’ll find a close-up under the jump to help you decide…
